How to activate gestures on Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge offer Samsung’s popular gesture controls. While few in number, they make some tasks – like taking a screenshot – pretty easy. Simple steps, a few taps, and you’ll be able to use all these trendy gestures too.

For example, you can enable Direct call from here. This gesture allows you to call someone by simply raising your Galaxy S7 or S7 edge to your ear with their contact detail, message or even a call log on the screen.

Easy mute allows you to mute incoming calls, messages, alarms, and other sounds by placing your hand on the screen. Talk about facepalm-ing your own smartphone. With Easy mute on, you can also turn the device over to force-silence it.
